The results of theoretical analysis of the oscillation spectrum of a plasma placed in a very strong quantizing magnetic field are presented. It is shown that in ultra-quantum limit, when all particles occupy the first Landau level, in an inhomogeneous quantized two-component plasma, volume quantum drift waves arise. These waves become unstable under some circumstances.
